[QUOTE="HopeFilledMama, post: 695640, member: 20368"] I wanted to update you all on phone conversations I had yesterday. I found out that the insurance company is not forcing discharge. They only ask (in every conversation) as part of their required questions. It all boils down to Jonathan's therapist is not fighting for him to stay. While he is a nice, amiable, charming (speaks with an Australian accent) man. He is lazy. He has not given me monthly summaries of Jonathan's care (I found out yesterday it is his responsibility - I've been asking him and he says he'll call someone who is supposed to do it). He won't implement basic visual supports (my son learns/retains way more with visuals); He uses a "script" for counseling that I think he uses for every child. He doesn't read charts, and I often surprise him with "things that have happened" that he has no clue about. No one...not the insurance company or the person dealing with the insurance company, had a clue about the results of the psycho/sexual. Once I made them aware yesterday, they completely backed off on any thoughts of discharge. Maybe the counselor is burned out. But this is my boy. And for him it is life or death. He has multiple levels of needs...Autism, Type 1 Diabetes (and other auto-immune issues as well) Sexual trauma, PTSD, ODD, ADHD. The Type 1 Diabetes alone keeps him from many residential placements due to liability. So he needs to stay where he is. He is now (finally) making progress. I can get to work on long term funding options, realizing that insurance is not going to pay forever. But for now he's not going anyplace soon. [/QUOTE]
